30 Incredible Balkan Foods that will make you hungry #14 Cuttlefish risotto

While most of the fish dishes in the Balkans are rather light, black risotto is a rich speciality that will definitely leave you feeling full. Black risotto is made from rice, cuttlefish, and squid ink, which gives the dish its rich, creamy texture. It’s then usually topped with parsley and parmesan cheese for one of most iconic dishes of the Adriatic coast.

Typically you’ll find this dish in the Dalmatian region of Croatia, though you’ll also find black risotto in Montenegro, Albania, and Greece as well.
